Here is a brief refresher provided by Humberto Fontova of Twonhall, on exactly who Che Guevara is – a hardcore, murderous oppressor.

In 1959, Cuba had a population of 6.4 million people (with a higher per capita income than most Europeans, by the way). According to Freedom House, 500,000 Cubans have passed through Cuba’s prison systems, proportionally more than went through Stalin’s Gulag. And many of Che Guevara’s political prisoners qualify as the longest-suffering political prisoners in modern history, having suffered prison camps, forced labor and torture chambers for a period three times as long in Fidel and Che’s Gulag as Alexander Solzhenitsyn suffered in Stalin’s.

The figures for the Che/Castro murders and jailings do not come from any “biased” Cuban-exile source. They’re available from “The Black Book of Communism,” authored by French scholars and translated into English by Harvard University Press, not exactly headquarters for any vast right-wing conspiracy.

…

“Executions?” Che Guevara exclaimed while addressing the hallowed halls of the U.N. General Assembly Dec. 9, 1964. “Certainly we execute!” he declared, to the claps and cheers of that august body. “And we will continue executing as long as it is necessary! This is a war to the death against the revolution’s enemies!”

According to the “Black Book of Communism,” those firing-squad executions had reached 14,000 by the end of the ’60s, the equivalent, given the relative populations, of more than 3 million executions in the U.S. “I don’t need proof to execute a man,” snapped Che to a judicial toady in 1959. “I only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him! … Judicial evidence is an archaic bourgeois detail. We execute from revolutionary conviction.”

Remember when liberals such as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo were banning travel to states like Indiana because they attempted to pass the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) which was considered ‘anti-gay?’

Now they hail their hero Obama as he travels to a dictatorship with a markedly disgraceful record on human (particularly those of LGBT individuals) rights.

Cuba has no anti-discrimination laws currently regarding the provisions of goods and services. None. They have no anti-discrimination laws regarding hate speech against particular groups. But they do have a constitutional ban against same-sex marriage.

Yet Obama is seemingly content visiting despite that knowledge.

Fortunately, Twitter user Michael Deppisch was kind enough to help make the image of Obama humbling himself in front of a communist murderer slightly more tolerable.

During his visit, Obama also paid a special visit to Cuban President Raul Castro:

On the second day of a historic visit to Cuba, President Barack Obama met with Cuban leader Raul Castro in a seminal moment amid the normalization of ties between the U.S. and the island nation.

Henry Gomez of PJ Media has described ties to terrorism – including domestic efforts – that Raul Castro and his brother, Fidel, share:

The Castro brothers continue to harbor international terrorists from Spain’s Basque separatist group ETA and Colombia’s Marxist rebels FARC, as well as American domestic terrorists from groups like the Black Liberation Army.

Nothing has really changed on this front. It’s estimated that 70 U.S. fugitives are being harbored by Cuba, including Joanne Chesimard (AKA “Assata Shakur”), a convicted cop killer.

A 2013 BBC profile describes Raul as having worked together in the Cuban Revolution with his brother since the 1950s. Raul, they explain, “can claim an earlier commitment to socialism than his brother” and was viewed as more of a “hard-liner” than Fidel.

“In the first few months of the Revolution,” the BBC reports, “he was kept out of the limelight because his militancy was thought unpalatable.”

Where once dictators who harbor terrorists and kill their opposition were thought “unpalatable,” our President accepts them with open arms. And he stands proudly in front of terrorists like Che Guevara, those who see fit to kill and torture their political opposition.

What a disgrace.

Comment: How do you feel about President Obama’s visit to Cuba? Share your thoughts below.

Guess y’all forgot about Reagan posing next to a bust of Lenin. Or Bush II posing in front of a shrine to Ho Chi Minh.

Guys, please stop saying you care about Cuba when you obviously dont? I dont see you falling over yourselves in anger when the President goes to China, which has a far worse human rights record than Cuba could ever hope to achieve.

Fact: Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, And Richard Nixon have all been photographed in front of communist leaders

Fact: Donald Trump and his supporters are racist bigots.

Obama is not endorsing the government. His is, however, endorsing the Cuban people.

The United States stands up and shakes hands with any petty dictator we can get something out of.

By all means, trash the Castro regime, they ARE pure evil, but be consistent with your outrage or get of your soap box.

Obama turned his back on Che. Cool. If you search the net, you’ll also find photos of Bush with Gorbachev in front of the soviet flag and Reagan posing in front of Stalin. We’ve done the same thing for 57 years and it has not worked. Good for Obama for putting an end to it and starting Cuba on the road to changing the Castro regime.

The only traitors are you guys for disrespecting your Commander in Chief. And I’ll say you the trouble of commenting on this.

“He’s not my President!” We know, becacause you are a racist, bigoted turd that hates having black people in the White House. That is true.

How can any human being be so miserably ignorant? First most of your comment is just pure bull, you could not substantiate those delusions to save your life. Second, no president in history has ever faced the deliberate job and recovery sabotage by the Republican obstruction.

The lack of jobs is from Republican offshoring and public jobs elimination.

The majority of the debt is from the unpaid costs of the previous administration, if the Republicans had not extended tax cuts, the debt would be paid by now.

Obama has not driven the white people to hysterical bigoted rage, they were that way already.

You are just an unsubstantiated hysterically paranoid drama queen.

Calling the POTUS a POS and a fraud seems to the usual calling call for you right-wing racists and bigots like you!
